To me that thread is a Joke! IMO alot has changed since that thread was made.
Basically all that guy is saying is how to buy everything humanly possible at once instead of proggressing your setup to suit your needs as you go along.
I don't know about you guys, but i am not pissing away 20 G's if i don't NEED to and just to make me sleep better at night

damnit.. bad news guys..
so i am leaving work today.. and i'm coming home getting off on the Stumph Blvd exit off of the Westbank Expressway.. as i am taking the exit, there was a spot that had lots of loose gravel just as you take a hard right turn.. i think i may have been pushing it pretty hard.. just as i am coming around this turn i see it coming and i can't do anything about it as it was too late... and i was going entirely too fast.
